Adolph Lowe (born Adolf Löwe, 1893 to 1995) was a German sociologist and economist, born in Stuttgart, who died in Wolfenbüttel. His best known student was the economist Robert Heilbroner. Writing first in German on war economy, demobilisation, unemployment and business cycle theory, he argued in Economics and Sociology: A plea for cooperation in the social sciences (1935) that the two disciplines should work together. After 1933 he published in English, including The Price of Liberty: A German on contemporary Britain (1937) and The Universities in Transformation (1940). His later books, On Economic Knowledge (1965) and The Path of Economic Growth (1976), set out a program he called political economics, and in 1980 he received the Veblen-Commons Award.
